A celebrity seen often at Nine. Carlotta
PATHS receptions is the Marquis de Caux,
the divorced husband of Adelina. Not
wthstanding the separation, divorce and
attending evils, Carlotta has remained a
firm friend of the marquis. He has not
changed much since 1868, when in the
little Catholic church of Chaplain, near
London, he married Adelina Patti. The
marquis still wears the square eyeglass
which was the admiration of French
dudes in 1860, and still considers himself
the great pedestrian of Paris. In the
morning he is seen in the Champs
Elysees, in the afternoon at the Bots; but
he has rival in the ex-king of Naples,
who also is an indefatigable walker. The
Argonaut.

Experiments made in Germany on the
best method of cleaning woolens have led
to the following conclusions: First the
liquid used for washing must be as hot ms
possible; second, for the removal of greasy
dirt, swent, etc, boraX is of so little value
that its application would be mere waste,
and, though soap lye is better, the prefer
ence must be given to soap I've with am
monia mixture which works wonders
by quickly dissolving dirt in particular
parts which are hard to cleanse, raising
and reviying even bright colors; third,
that on the other hand, for cleaning white
wooden goods there is nothing which even
approaches borax-soap I've and boraX,
applied boiling hot, give to white woolens
a looseness and dazzling whiteness
which they often do not possess when
they are new; fourth il shrinking is to he
entirely avoided the drying must be nc
celebrated by repeatedly pressing the
woolens between soft cloths. In no case
should the woolens be dried in the sun, us
they become dry and hard, they being best
dried in moderate current of air and in
cold weather in IA warm place, but not too
near the source of heat. In the above OK
periments all the various degrees of heat
were tried, from the hottest to the coolest
temperature; all the favorite clean ne
materials were also mployed--solp,
borax, ammonia, benzine and mixtures of
these.-New York Sun.

The Orinoco is being explored by a
French traveller, NJ. Chaffanjon, who has
already discovered numerous errors in ex-
isting maps, and has made extensive sci

fish commission is about to investigate
the fish bearing properties of the Kin
Sawa, or Black Stream, of Japan, which,
crossing the Pacific in a high latitude, is
said to modify the temperature and eli

In London now everybody is saying,
under his breath. that the story that the
Prince of Wales coolly stayed in his bed
when called at the time of the earthquake

any of its less distinguished occupants.

A PETITION, 1t appears, has beeL seUt
 to Prescott from Tucson. asking for a
 Sunday law" How or just what that
 means IS as great a mystery ss is board
 ing house hash to the consumer. The
 petition certainly cannot have had very
 wide circulation in this town else its purport would be known to cur people in general. Guessing in the dark said petitions probably contain good many
 New Englandisms that are not fitted 10 thrive on the dry messs and alkaline
 than the Giver of good care to bestow
 upon them in these far of frontier towns. Sunday law legislation shoald
 be entirely local in it's character and should without question be left tO the communities themselves. A majority vote
 of the people Is the best that Sunday law advocates can hope for, and even then, it is questionable If mere ma iorIty should dictate to minority, how
 ever small that minority may be, their uses of the seventh day. Enforced morality is seldom or never productive oi good, nor is moral sussion, if it must needs be backed by the lash of the law, given to sincere conversions One vol unisry offering is of more value than many If enforced. The people of Tucson are capable of self government, and any attempt to legislate on Sunday lav will find but little favor among them. No city in the United States oi the size of Tucson, is more law abiding, and our people made up as they are, from almost every r1ce ' earth, are deserving of commeniatIon for il. The sincerity ofthe petitioners is not to be questioned but their wisdom is. Too much JackrRbbit Legislation r. liable to bring our law making bodies into disrepute.
